Selectmen approve conditional easement with Fix It LLC over Sandy Hollow property
Summary
The board authorized the First Selectman to sign an easement to Fix It LLC over town land off Sandy Hollow Road in exchange for the company relinquishing access across Sandy Hollow Park to Miner Avenue, conditioned on a plan prepared at the company's expense and review by the Town Attorney and Director of Planning.
The Waterford Board of Selectmen voted May 5 to authorize the First Selectman to execute an easement granting Fix It LLC access over a portion of town property off Sandy Hollow Road, conditioned on review of a plan to be prepared at Fix It LLC's expense. Attorney Jonathan Peck presented the request on behalf of his client. The easement authorization is expressly conditioned on review and approval of the plan by the Town Attorney and the Director of Planning before execution.
According to the agenda summary presented to the board, Fix It LLC will release its right to traverse town open space known as Sandy Hollow Park to reach Miner Avenue as part of the exchange. The board's action was recorded as an affirmative 3-0 vote; the motion instructs the town to require the professional plan describing the easement be completed and approved prior to the First Selectman signing any documents.
The board did not specify a timeline for submission of the plan in the minutes; follow-up tasking recorded in the meeting notes identifies the Planning department and the First Selectman's office as responsible for receiving and reviewing the plan. The authorization does not itself alter title or record an easement until the conditioned plan is accepted and the First Selectman executes the grant.
